What I miss about the old internet is finding something fun was yours and your small forum niche group for a while. Now that period is maybe 30 minites and then it's plugged in all socials. The current web has zero coziness.

These are employees of the executive branch of the United States of America, both ostensibly adult men, talking about a sitting United States Senator.
“Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics,” Steven Cheung, the ever-cantankerous White House communications director, posted on X. “Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he’s a miserable person who hates this country. It’s because he’s a radical, extremist Dumocrat.”

“Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a shit what this lightweight loser says,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said on X, launching a homophobic insult at Ossoff.

It’s so depressing that something so rare and expressive of human history and wisdom, that would be a prized possession if only I could afford it, is treated either as trash or a competitor product that must be destroyed by these obscenely wealthy parasites.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

4-panel SMBC comic. A very handsome man with a low cut shirt is declaring his love to a red-haired woman. He states "words cannot describe my feelings for you." The woman sweetly answers "assign your current feelings to the variable R. then say R. problem solved." The man leans into a kiss, saying "R. R, my love." The woman says "R" and the man pulls back a bit, saying "you have no phenomenological access to that concept."

Boeren protesteerden vrijdag massaal tegen de stikstofplannen van het Rijk en het voorgenomen besluit van de provincie Brabant om de natuurvergunningen van vijf Brabantse pluimveehouderijen in te trekken. Agrariërs gingen massaal de weg op met hun trekkers. Op de A59 ging dat mis: een botsing kostte twee mensen het leven. Lees hieronder alles wat er vandaag tijdens de protesten is gebeurd terug.

A guy asks one of the girls, “you’ve really never heard of Animorphs?” The girl laughs, “never!” Panel 2: later, the girl is now alone and unlocking the door to her apartment. Panel 3: as she enters the apartment, she morphs into a wildebeest. She thinks to herself, “no one can know.”
